Welcome

Welcome & Thank You for visiting Bloomin' Babies!

The original Buds were all part of an online TTC community posting board. One day, Worry Bud, an avid blog reader/follower, asked if ladies on the board would be interested in starting a joint blog describing our different journeys in TTC...everyone loved the idea and Bloomin' Babies was born (pun intended)! Today, Bloomin' Babies is made up of some of the original Buds, but also includes ladies from all over the world!

It is our hope that this blog provides a broad view of what women at different phases of the TTC journey go through - the good, the bad, and yes, even the ugly! We hope that you enjoy your time here and visit us often!

I seriously can't even believe that I get to write this post. When I first got the positive test for this pregnancy I was just hoping and praying to make it to 6 weeks (previous miscarriage was in 5th week). That I'd get to viability seemed goal that was too lofty to even dream of. I know reaching this point doesn't guarantee a baby going home in my arms, but just getting this far is something that seemed so unattainable back in February. I'm seriously all choked up just thinking about how far things have come.

Its really surreal to be at the point in this pregnancy where the last of the July '11 ladies on Pregnant After a Loss were when I first got there. Now those ladies are delivering...and here I am.

Coming up in July: Double Digits, my first EDD, 3rd Tri & my baby shower. Deep breathes on the EDD one. I seriously can't believe that day is so soon. *sigh*

The Beautiful Buds

Bossy Bud

A 29 year old elementary school teacher TTC for 3 years. Struggling after our first IVF resulted in a miscarriage. Working toward becoming healthier (both physically and emotionally) before we try again in Jan/Feb.

After realizing the natural route, coupled with faith was the path they would take to TTC #1, Cupcake Bud is in the process of losing weight & regulating her cycle to prepare to TTC again after a miscarriage.

A late 20's teacher who has faced well over 1 year of TTC with no success with her loving husband. After 3 failed IUIs & 1 failed IVF, currently attempting to plan for the future, but are finding it very trying at the moment.

After 2 medicated cycles, this high school teacher and her PhD candidate husband are expecting their first child in November 2011! Navigating the uncertain waters of a long commute, planning maternity leave and long term subs, as well as the funny reactions of the students!
